Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Falsies Washable Mascara

NOT AS GOOD AS GREAT LASH CLASSIC

I grew up using the old pink with green cap Maybellene mascara, Great Lash and had enormous lashes in high school in the 1970's; so I thought I'd give Falsies a try. I hated it and am returning to my old Great Lash and XXL by Maybellene, a mascara maker I trust and like the best having accumulated a drawer full of pretenders who claimed to make my lashes longer, fuller and more than they are naturally, yet they all lied. Maybellene is still MASCARA QUEEN and my now middle aged lashes still like the formula though I prefer some of the brushes on other brands. I've learned how to swap my old GL brush for a brush I like better. I found the Falsies brush too clunky and while curving it helps, it's still too prone to gunk up with too much product. Honestly I think the ad on TV is misleading and false - hence the name I guess. :(

Alberto VO5 Make it Straight! Straightening Gel

HONESTLY BEST STRAIGHTENING GEL ANYWHERE

Ladies, I have wavy hair though I was born and had ultra straight hair as a girl thru my pregnancy at 21, when my hair up and became completely wavy in a not cool or good way; I then began years of blowdrying and straightening minus any good products until I found this one by accident a few years ago, it makes my hair pin straight in a matter of minutes and I have very long hair, I use a regular consumer brand blowdryer and a boar bristle brush and it makes my hair STRAIGHT, silky and looking like a TV ad, and my hair is color treated. I can not recommend this enough and don't get why Alberto Vo5 either discontinued it or stopped selling it in US stores like Target where I got mine. I'm dying to find anything as superior and inexpensive as this terrific product. It smells great, isn't sticky and hair is soft and flowy like a TV ad. It's better than any other product for this purpose.
